Yea because people always want to go out for lunch or after work drinks. Also my office was moved to TD garden so it’s a 4 hour round trip commute by train, $24. I love spending every minute with my dog. BUT there are bits of loneliness and missing shooting the shit with people

Dogs are a gift for sure and I'm sure yours appreciates your increased presence. Lot's of folks to shoot the shit with at dog parks. You should take some of that savings and spoil yourself and doggo on an adventure.

Thank you but dog parks are no bueno. A lot of un trained dogs and distracted owners. Also I have a pit so he’ll be blamed for anything even though he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body

That's too bad. They ought to have play dates for docile doggies.

Yes! I lost my dog in September and I’m so thankful I was home for 18 months with him during COVID. Best years of his life for sure

I’m so sorry 😢 I hope he’s living his best angel life
